[ANN] juju-core 1.9.7 has been released

[Mark Ramm]

I would vote to remove the word experimental, and switch to calling it a 
preview release.

A new preview release of Juju, juju-core 1.9.7, is now available. This 
is an early release of the Go port of Juju and while not yet feature 
complete it should provide a stable platform for testing, 
experimentation, and basic use.

This I think is a step forward.  I would also like to work on getting 
the remainder of the command line tools finished because that plus 
constraints would make this completely useful to an EC2 user of pyjuju.
